Word of the Dwedmar warships, Sutican mechanized Infantry, and the airmachines spread to the Imperium's R&D divisions, lead by Klaus of Heldenburg. These are threats that must be culled if ever they wish to step on mankind, threats rivaling the September Prince. They devised and drafted, working out various designs until Emperor Aurelius Horen was on-board with the designs. It took years, but eventually the machine was born. The Owyn I series now deployed.
A powerful device, capable of spitting purging fire and ballistics via alchemical gas building up and launching the projectile. With the tests done, these engines of war have been able to penetrate five feet of tempered steel, leaving a molten scrap heap. Truly, a machine able to ward attacks from the Ironclad warships and the sutican mechanized infantry. In addition, further designs were made to combat aerial assaults, using the same mechanism with the addition of an expanded support, and reinforcements.
Man's will survive, and will fight back any scourge that tries to destroy it. They will be -- as the name of the series suggests -- purged by the flames of Saint Owyn.
